The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Le Chemin de Damas est un film québécois de George Mihalka sorti en 1988. Jean-Marie (Rémy Girard), un prêtre ouvrier idéaliste dans un quartier populaire urbain, dérange l'archevêché par ses actions anticonformistes. Le secrétaire de l'archevêque (Jean Marchand) lui signifie la désapprobation des autorités et le réassigne dans la paroisse campagnarde et conservatrice de Saint-Rémi-de-Damas. Résigné, Jean-Marie s'y installe en paix, mais son train-train sera mis sens dessus dessous par l'arrivée de Fred (Jessica Barker) et Violaine (Pascale Bussières), filles d'une femme sur le point de sortir de prison et qui fut jadis l'amante (mais est-ce bien vrai ?) de Jean-Marie...
